Also I'm changing the waterpump and accessories since it looks like it is original. I use the recommended castrol oil but I will and have always changed my oil at 3,000 mile intervals even with synthetic. I just don't know how the vehicle was taken care of before. Always a scary thing.
Good luck. Mine is a love hate relationship
You will be just fine going 10,000 miles between oil changes. Mine has over 110k and I change between 10-12k and engine is pristine.
